Toilet paper dispenser
Abstract
A system and method for dispensing roll material is described
that substantially prevents toilet paper runaway and is useful in
reducing irritation caused by using dry toilet paper. In one
embodiment, the dispenser has a structure that has a thin, but
strong curved, rigid arm with a tooth that is biased to engage the
toilet paper roll in such a manner that it will only permit the
roll to turn only in one direction. If the roll is attempted to be
turned in the opposite direction, the tooth, which is disposed
toward the roll, will engage the roll and prevent rotation in the
second direction without substantially damaging the toilet paper on
the roll. In a second embodiment, the toilet paper dispenser will
dispense a predetermined amount of toilet paper into a receiver
that has a sufficient size that it will fold over onto itself a
predetermined number of times. Once the predetermined amount of
toilet paper is disposed in the receiver, the system will dispense
a measured amount of lotion, cream, or other type of cleansing
liquid that will provide not only cleansing of the desired tissue
area but also act as a lubricant for the toilet paper so that it
will not irritate the tissue.

Description
[0001] The present invention relates to systems and methods that
are used to dispense toilet paper from a roll. More specifically,
the present invention relates to systems and methods that are used
for dispensing toilet paper from a roll that will prevent toilet
paper runaway and reduces the irritation of the toiler paper when
it is used.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] After the invention of the toilet, there have been a variety
of methods that have been devised to cleanse the person who used
the toilet These methods have been from the use of leaves and
newspaper to cloth materials. However, the advent of toilet paper
on a roll has become the standard in Western culture for people to
cleanse him-/herself Anyone who has traveled, and not even
extensively, knows that toilet paper comes in a variety of
textures. It may range from the alleged softest "Charmin" to some
that appear (and feel) as course as burlap. Further, virtually all
toilet paper that is used is dry. By this, it is meant that the
toilet paper is typically dry paper on a roll that is metered out
by the user as needed to cleanse him-/herself.
[0003] Whatever the texture of the toilet paper, in its primary
use, it will come in contact with sensitive body tissue. In some
cases, however, this sensitive body tissue may be in an irritated
condition even before the toilet paper comes in contact with it.
When the tissue is in such a condition, it does not matter how soft
the toilet paper may be it will further irritate the area and the
person will experience greater discomfort in using the toilet paper
but there is no alternative to cleanse them.
[0004] If someone has traveled to France and stayed in a hotel or
home, they would be aware that the French have sought to solve at
least the irritation problem by the elimination of the use of
toilet paper altogether. The French use a "Bidet" that operates by
spraying water at the tissue area to be cleansed that may later be
dried, for example, with a towel. This method does not require the
repetitive rubbing of dry toilet paper over the soiled area in
order to cleanse the tissue.
[0005] Although the "Bidet" has many advantages with regard to the
comfort it provides the user, its use has not caught on
significantly in most locales in the world. It is observed that in
those locales where there are Western-style toilet facilities, the
method of choice in both commercial and residential settings is for
people to cleanse themselves with dry toilet paper.
[0006] Another problem, particularly for commercial properties, is
the loss of money because of waste associated with toilet paper.
This waste may be because of the (i) excessive use of paper, (ii)
intentional, unnecessary removal of excessive amounts of paper from
the roll, or (iii) unintentional removal of excessive amounts of
paper from the roll caused by roll runaway. These are controllable
but the solutions are not particularly desirable for the normal
user.
[0007] Two solutions to help solve the waste problem are to limit
the amount that the toilet paper roll may turn and the second is to
use small, individual paper sheet instead of a roll. According to
the first solution, the dispenser will permit the roll to turn a
set number of revolutions then it will stop. This will provide the
user a set number of toilet paper sections before they must be
separated from the roll. In order for the user to accumulate an
adequate amount of toilet paper to cleanse him-/herself, it may be
necessary to remove several pulls worth of toilet paper. The second
solution includes a dispenser that is filled with interfolded,
individual toilet paper sheets. The sheets are fitted together such
that as one sheet is removed, a portion of the next sheet will
extend from the dispenser. In order for a user to obtain an
adequate number of sheets, he/she must pull a desired number of
sheets from the dispenser.
[0008] The two solutions are more appropriate for locations such as
schools and public facilities where the change of abuse is high.
However, they are not as desirable for residential or commercial
buildings where the risk of such abuse is low, and it is
particularly frustrating the user.
[0009] The third cause of waste indicated above, the unintentional
removal of excessive amounts of paper from the roll caused by roll
runaway, is very controllable and there are methods currently
available that attempt to solve the problem. These methods do not
attempt to limit the amount of toilet paper that a user may obtain,
but focus on the express issue of runaway. One method to solve this
problem is to use of an unbalanced toilet paper roller that fits in
a standard toilet paper dispenser. Runaway is reduced when the
toilet paper roll is spun rapidly and the unbalanced nature of the
roll will cause it to stop spinning much more rapidly than if a
balanced roller was used.
[0010] A second method to prevent unintentional runaway is to
provide a curved, hinged metal plate that extends from the back of
the dispenser structure and rests on top of he toilet paper roll.
Hotels frequently use this type of dispenser. The structure relies
on the weight of the curved metal plate to prevent runaway.
Therefore, the heavier the plate, the greater the stopping power it
will provide. However, the greater the weight, the greater the
chance the toilet paper will separate from the roll at an undesired
location/ Accordingly, there must be a compromise between the
weight of the plate and the desired stopping power of plate to
prevent runaway.
[0011] The two methods just described provide some degree of
runaway prevention, but considerable runaway can still take place.
There is the desire to provide greater degrees of runaway
prevention yet still permit the toilet paper roll to turn as freely
as possible.
[0012] The present invention solves the problems of the past and
provides a toilet paper dispenser that prevents toilet paper
runaway and discomfort that may exist from the use of dry toilet
paper.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0013] The present invention is a system and method for dispensing
toilet paper in which toilet paper runaway is significantly
prevented and the irritation caused by dry toilet paper is
significantly reduced.
[0014] The first embodiment of the present invention will greatly
reduce toilet paper runaway. This embodiment has a structure that
has a thin, but strong curved, rigid arm that has a tooth at or
near the distal end that engages the toilet paper roll in such a
manner that it will only permit the roll to turn only in one
direction without substantial damage to the toilet paper on the
roll. If the roll is attempted to be turned in the opposite
direction, the tooth will engage the roll and prevent rotation in
the second direction without substantial damage to the toilet paper
on the roll. The arm is biased sufficiently so that it will prevent
runaway yet permit the toilet paper roll to easily turn when in
use.
[0015] In a second embodiment of the present invention, the toilet
paper dispenser will dispense a predetermined amount of toilet
paper into a receiver that has a sufficient size that it will fold
over itself a predetermined number of times. The toilet paper may
be mechanically separated from the roll or the user will separate
it Once the predetermined amount of toilet paper is disposed in the
receiver, the system will dispense a measured amount of lotion,
cream, or other type of cleansing liquid that will provide not only
cleansing of the desired tissue area but also act as a lubricant
for the toilet paper so that it will not irritate the tissue. In
this embodiment, the lotion, cream, or cleansing liquid will be
dispensed onto the top surface of the folded toilet paper. The user
may then retrieve the toilet paper with the cleansing material on
it from the receiver and apply it to cleanse the soiled area.
[0016] An object of the present invention is to provide a system
and method for controlling tissue paper runaway if the toilet paper
roll is spun very rapidly.
[0017] Another object of the present invention is to provide a
system and method that will dispense toilet paper and a cleansing
liquid for the user to cleanse him-/herself These and other objects
of the present invention will be described in greater detail in the
remainder of the specification referring to the drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0023] The present invention is toilet tissue dispenser that in a
first embodiment prevents to a large degree the waste of toilet
paper due to toilet paper runaway when the roll is spun to rapidly.
The present invention in a second embodiment is a toilet paper
dispenser that provides toilet paper and cleansing liquid for
cleansing a soiled area of the user.
[0024] Referring to FIG. 1, a side perspective view of the first
embodiment of the present invention is shown generally at 100. Also
referring to FIG. 2, a top perspective view of the first embodiment
is shown generally at 200. Referring to these two Figures, the
first embodiment of the present invention will be described.
[0025] The support structure of the first embodiment of the present
invention has certain conventional features. Specifically, the
support structure of the present invention has a back rectangular
support plate 102 that connects to the wall in a conventional
manner. For example, the back rectangular support plate may connect
to the wall with screws, pins, slide connections, glue, or other
conventional types of connection methods. It is understood that
although the back support plate is shown as a rectangular plate, it
may have other geometric shapes, and it my be other than flat and
still be within the scope of the present invention.
[0026] Extending perpendicularly from the each side of back
rectangular support plate 102 are side supports 104 and 106. The
placement of the side supports 104 and 106 with respect to back
rectangular support plate 102 is to properly space them to engage
the ends of toilet paper spool 109. Each of the side supports near
their respective distal ends has a section that is adapted to
rotatably engage one of the ends of toilet paper spool 109. Either
one or both of the side supports may be hinged or movable so that
it will permit the toilet paper spool to be inserted between them
and then engaged by the side supports. While FIGS. 1 and 2 show a
preferred shape of side supports 104 and 106 of the present
invention, it is understood that the side supports may have a
different shapes and still be within the scope of the present
invention as long as the side supports will rotatably engage the
ends of toilet paper spool 109.
[0027] Toilet paper spool 109 extends between side supports 104 and
106. Toilet paper spool 109 has nipples 110 and 111 extending from
respective ends of the spool. The nipples rotatably engage side
supports 104 and 106. Toilet paper roll 108 is disposed on toilet
paper spool 109.
[0028] As is better seen in FIG. 1, the main body of toilet paper
spool 109 has an oval cross-sectional shape. Accordingly, the shape
is asymmetrically disposed about the longitudinal rotational axis
of the spool. This will mean that toilet paper spool 109 will
rotate about the longitudinal axis through nipples 110 and 111 in
an unbalanced manner. Thus, if the toilet paper roll is rotated and
released, it will eventually stop rotating much more rapidly
because of the asymmetrical toilet paper spool than if the spool
had a circular cross-section that was symmetrical with respect to
the nipples.
[0029] The present invention includes bias arm 114 that has a
proximal end that connects to back rectangular plate 102. Bias arm
114 is rotatable about its connection point to the back rectangular
plate 102. Bias arm 114 is biased toward toilet paper roll 108 by
bias member 118. Bias member 118 may be a spring or other type of
structure that will controllably bias arm 114 toward toilet paper
roll 108.
[0030] The surface or side of bias arm 114 that is to toward toilet
roll 108 has projection 116 in the form of a tooth extending from
it near the distal end of the arm. Tooth 116 is positioned on the
under surface of bias arm 114 so that when bias arm 114 is biased
toward toilet roll 108, it will contact the toilet roll no matter
the amount of toilet paper on the roll. That is, tooth 116 will
contact the toilet paper of the roll when the roll and until all of
the toilet paper is removed from the roll. Although the FIGS. 1 and
2 show bias arm 114 as thin in width and containing only one
projection 116, it is understood that the bias arm my be wider and
may include more than one projection and still be within the scope
of the present invention.
[0031] According to the present invention, when bias arm 114 with
tooth 116 is biased toward toilet paper roll 108, tooth 116 will
engage toilet paper roll 108 so that it can rotate under the
pressure exerted on it by the bias arm and tooth even in light of
toilet paper spool 109 being unbalanced. The pressure also is of a
level that it will not cause the toilet paper to tear along its
perforated lines based solely on such pressure. Accordingly, toilet
paper may be pulled from the toilet paper structure of the present
invention without the paper prematurely tearing at undesired
locations. However, the pressure exerted by the bias arm and tooth
will prevent to a large degree toilet paper runaway if the toilet
paper is spun rapidly.
[0032] Referring primarily to FIG. 1, when the present invention is
used, bias arm 114 and tooth 116 will engage toilet paper roll 108
and permit the roll to rotate in one direction without
substantially damaging the toilet paper on the roll. In FIG. 1,
this direction will be counterclockwise. This rotation will be
under pressure but it will smoothly rotate. Depending on the
softness of the toilet paper, when the toilet paper roll is rotated
to remove toilet paper, tooth 116 my form a depression line in the
paper. If the toilet paper is attempted to be rotated in the
opposite or clockwise direction in FIG. 1, the tooth will engage
the toilet paper roll and in all likelihood tear the paper.
[0033] Given unbalanced toilet paper spool 109 and bias arm 114
with tooth 116, after the removal of toilet paper from toilet paper
roll 108, the roll will not rest in a position that centerline 112
will perpendicular to the ground as would case due to gravity if
bias arm 114 with tooth 116 were not present According to the
present invention, typically, after toilet paper has been removed
and the roll is released, the roll will rotate and in this rotation
the unbalanced spool will seek to have centerline 112 perpendicular
to the ground but tooth 116 will engage the roll when it attempts
to rotate on the clockwise direction resulting in the roll having a
resting position with centerline 112 at an angle to the ground as
shown in FIG. 1.
[0034] Noting the foregoing, when the system and method of the
invention are used, toilet paper runaway is prevented to a great
degree without the problems of the past.
[0035] The second embodiment of the present invention is a toilet
paper dispenser that will permit the user to have a cleansing
liquid provided to the toilet paper so that the user may
conveniently use the cleansing liquid to clean a soiled area The
second embodiment of the present invention will be described
referring to FIGS. 3-5.
[0036] FIG. 3, generally at 300, shows a side perspective view of
the present invention with a portion of the top section cut away to
show the interior of the second embodiment of the present
invention. FIG. 4, generally at 400, shows a front perspective view
of the present invention shown in FIG. 3. And, FIG. 5, generally at
500, shows a top perspective view of the bottom section of the
present invention along 5-5 of FIG. 4.
[0037] The second embodiment has top section 302 and bottom section
304. Top section 302 houses and dispenses the toilet paper, and
includes the reservoir for the cleansing liquid Bottom section 304
includes the tray that receives the toilet paper and cleansing
liquid from top section 302. Each of these sections will be
described and the method by which the sections work together to
provide the toilet paper and cleansing liquid to the user will be
described.
[0038] Top section 302 has hinged door 306 that is shown on the
left side in FIG. 4. Preferably, door 306 is hinged along the back
edge. The door may be opened to permit toilet paper rolls to be
loaded into the top section. The front edge of the hinged door and
edge of the top section that it contacts when it closed, latch or
otherwise connect to keep the door locked or latched in place when
the door is closed.
[0039] When the hinged door 306 is closed, toilet paper chamber 308
is formed Chamber 308 will house toilet paper roll 310. Within
chamber 308, toilet paper spindle 312 is rotatably connected to
interior of wall 314 of top section 302 at 316. Although the
rotatable connection at 316 is strong enough to support spindle 312
and toilet paper roll 310, the distal end of the spindle 312
rotatably engages hinged door 306 when the door is closed. To
accommodate the rotatable engagement of the distal end of spindle
312, hinged door 306 has spindle receiver 318.
[0040] Interior wall 314 of top section 306 has stepping motor 320
attached to it. The stepping motor connects to the spindle 312 in a
geared or other equivalent relationship so that the motor can
controllably turn the spindle in a predetermined direction. Gears
317 and 319 connect steppe motor 320 to toilet paper spindle 312.
Electrical wires 322 connect to a power source for powering
stepping motor 320. The electrical wires connect to an alternating
power source or a direct power source, such as a battery (not
shown).
[0041] Stepping motor 320 is connected to and controlled by, toilet
paper controller 324. The controller has a plurality of setting to
control the amount of toilet paper that is dispensed from the
toilet paper roll when it is engaged. The amount toilet paper that
is dispensed is controllable because different users desire
different amounts of toilet paper to clean soiled areas.
[0042] Toilet paper controller 324 is positioned on top section 302
at a convenient location so that the user my easily see it and its
control positions. As an example, toilet paper controller 324 may
be set to a first position that will cause twenty toilet paper
sections to be dispensed or their equivalent in linear measurement,
and also cause the dispensing of a cleansing liquid onto the toilet
paper. If the paper controller is set to a second position, thirty
toilet paper sections will be dispensed along with the cleansing
liquid. Further, if the paper controller 324 is set to a third
position, twenty-five toilet paper sections will be dispensed
without any cleansing liquid dispensed. It is to be understood that
any amount of toilet paper may be programmed to be dispensed at any
given setting of toilet paper controller 324 and still be within
the scope of the present invention.
[0043] Toilet paper roll 308 will decrease in diameter as more
toilet paper is removed from the roll. However, the amount of
toilet paper that is dispensed from the roll each time is a
measured amount so the size of the roll will not affect the amount
that is being dispensed at any given time.
[0044] The bottom of top section 302 has opening 326 through which
the distal end of toilet paper roll 308 extends. Powered roller 328
engages the end or portion of the toilet paper roll that extends
through opening 326 so that a controlled amount of toilet paper is
dispensed to the bottom section 302 of toilet paper dispenser 300.
Roller 328 is generally powered by stepper motor 329. Gears 341 and
343 connect stepper motor 329 to powered roller 328. Stepper motor
329 is driven at the same time as spindle 312 by stepping motor 320
so that there is not sufficient tension on the toilet paper roll to
tear the toilet paper. Stepper motor 329 has wires 331 that are
connected to an AC or DC power source. Stepper motor may be
controlled by toilet paper controller 324.
[0045] Powered roller 328 may be configured to include shaft 339
that have spaced rubber wheels 335 disposed on the shaft. When the
shaft is turned the wheels grip the toilet paper against free
turning rubber coated shaft 337 to dispense the toilet paper to
bottom section 304.
[0046] In another embodiment of the present invention, stepping
motor 320 is eliminated and powered roller 328 will pull toilet
paper from a free spinning toilet paper roll 308. This embodiment
is operable as long as the tension on the toilet paper caused by
turning the toilet paper remains less than the breaking strength of
the toilet paper. This will generally be the case as long as the
toilet paper roll freely turns when powered roller is engaged. In
this embodiment, stepper motor 329 may be controller by toilet
paper controller 324.
[0047] At the back of opening 326 is cutter 330. Cutter 330 may be
a conventional cutter that has a blade that cuts the toilet paper
across its width. In FIG. 3, cutter 330 is shown in the cutting
position and in phantom in the ready position. The cutter is
present in both embodiments of the second embodiment of the present
invention. In these embodiments, cutter 330 is at the back of
opening 326 on the back wall of the top section disposed just below
the powered roller 328. Cutter 330 may be manually operated or
electrically powered and still be within the scope of the present
invention.
[0048] Bottom section 304, as stated, connects to top section 302
at the back wall. Bottom section 304 form a toilet paper receiver.
The bottom section includes forward slanted back 332, sidewalls 344
and 346 bottom 334 with U-shape cutout 340 and retaining lips 336
and 338.
[0049] Back 332 is slanted to facilitate the stacking of the
measured amount of toilet paper that is dispensed at any given
time. When toilet paper is being dispensed, sidewalls 334 and 336
assist in retaining the toilet paper in the bottom section. Lips
336 and 338 also assist in retaining the toilet paper in the bottom
section along with its primarily purpose which is to assist in the
toilet paper folding in a particular manner so that it may receive
a portion of cleansing material that may be applied to an irritated
location of the body.
[0050] Referring to FIG. 5, U-shaped cutout 340 is provided so that
a user can easily retrieve the dispensed toilet paper that includes
the cleansing liquid.
[0051] Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the front of top section 302 has
cleaning liquid reservoir 350 attached to it. Cleansing liquid line
354 connects between reservoir 350 and dispense nozzle 356.
Reservoir 350 has manual pump 358 that the user presses to dispense
cleansing liquid from the reservoir through line 354 and nozzle 356
onto the toilet paper dispensed in bottom section 302.
[0052] Preferably, the pump is electrically powered and the
cleansing liquid will be automatically dispensed from reservoir 350
a timed period after the toilet paper has been dispensed from top
section 302 to bottom section 304. However, it is understood that
the dispensing of the cleansing liquid onto the tissue folded in
the bottom section will take place if either the manual or
automatic embodiment is used.
[0053] In manual operation, the user will activate toilet paper
controller 324 to dispense the desired amount of toilet paper from
top section 302 to bottom section 304. This will result in the
toilet paper being folded in the bottom section. The toiler paper
is then cut across its width by cutter 330. Cutter 330 may be
manually or automatically operated and still be within the scope of
the present invention. Next the user will push-on button 358 to
pump and dispense the cleansing liquid onto the toilet paper.
Lastly, the user will remove the toilet paper from the bottom
section and use it. These steps may be practiced a number of times
until the user has cleansed him-/herself.
[0054] In automatic operation, the user will also activate toilet
paper controller 324 to dispense the desired amount of toilet paper
from top section 302 to bottom section 304. The toiler paper is
then cut across its width by cutter 330 a timed period after
dispensing the toilet paper. Again, it is within the scope of the
present invention that the cutter may be automatically or manually
operated, but in this embodiment it is preferably automatically
operated A predetermined period after the toilet paper has been
dispensed to the bottom section and cut, the pump, preferably, is
automatically activated to dispense a measured amount of cleansing
liquid onto the toilet paper. The user will repeat these steps
until he/she feels cleansed.
[0055] Thee terms and expressions that are use herein are meant for
description not limitation. It being recognized that there may be
minor changes or modifications that must take place and be within
the scope of the present invention.
